Mâche, a tender heirloom variety of lamb's lettuce, has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor, but the salad is equally good prepared with baby lettuces. Ingredients:
3/4 cup chopped pecans |
5 cups seeded and cubed watermelon |
1 (6-oz.) package mâche, thoroughly washed |
pepper jelly vinaigrette |
1 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Arrange pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet, and bake at 350° for 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant. Cool on a wire rack 15 minutes or until completely cool.
2. Combine watermelon and mâche in a large bowl; add vinaigrette, tossing gently to coat. Transfer watermelon mixture to a serving platter, and sprinkle evenly with pecans and cheese.
